Orange is not the new black.
Trump Men Can't Black.
It was an effort of all time but i fear time may pass on that one.
Because he’s a fucking weird old creepy racist
Simone Biles, on X, a day after winning her ninth Olympic medal: “I love my black job"
Kamala ended up being a better choice than I could have imagined. Republicans can't help themselves when you have a black candidate and a woman. They are now being the racist and xenophobic bigots we knew they would and they'll lose the black vote and women votes. The two categories that I think made up the majority of swing voters this election cycle. Let's hope Kamala doesn't mess up her VP pick.
What if Kamala picks a devout Jew who is an open critic of Netanyahu and the war on Gaza? The media couldn't call him anti-Semitic as easily, could they? Maybe they could announce it somewhere near his birthplace.
The media couldn't call him anti-Semitic as easily, could they?
Narrator Voice: They could.
Seriously though, it's not like the idiots listening to the nonsense have any logic behind the garbage they parrot, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I think he'd make an excellent pick for VP, though I'd also say so would many of the options on the apparent short list. I guess we will find out soon who the official pick is.
Considering Trump was just on a podcast where they did exactly that with Kamala's husband, yes, they would absolutely attack Shapiro as antisemitic.
Looks like he may not make the cut with all the recent news.
You mean the same guy that equates protesters to antisemites?
You'all didn't read the article didja?
Honestly if the DNC just wants to name it's pick as "whoever will trigger the Republicans the most", I'm kinda here for it.
I think they'd be pressing their luck with Buttigieg tho. I think Kelly is the safest choice.
I think Buttigieg is 20x more likeable than Kelly. Tim Walz is my pick.
The rollout has been masterful. I was a severe doubter due to her 2020 campaign, but I’m entirely on board now. I’m almost allowing myself the slightest bit of hope, which I haven’t really had since two days before the 2016 election.
Don't get complacent. I've been saying for over a year now that polls are fucking broken due to the difficulty of actually conducting them. It's why Democrats have been over-performing versus polls since 2017. But... We have no way of knowing until after the election whether they're still broken, or still broken in the same way.
Pretend there's a genuine risk that Trump will win if you get complacent, and behave accordingly.
I think there’s a risk even if we are not complacent. Too many states come down to a handful of votes each time and the ones with red state legislatures are stacking the deck.
Trump is still ahead in the polls. It's not just a matter of not getting complacent - this is still a race that will take serious work for Democrats to win. We all need to vote, volunteer if possible, and work to secure a Kamala victory.
Vote, don't believe any of the hype, volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without it.
What, you mean getting offended at being asked why black voters should vote for him didn't win them over? Did they not hear him when he said he was the best President for black voters since Abraham Lincoln, and then did not elaborate?
He did that thing for a historically black college.
yeah, those historically black colleges that he never names and is the only thing he ever points out.
holy shit that's literally his token "i did a good thing for black people" card. that's his black friend that makes him not racist. "you can't call me racist, i gave money to a black person once." he probably pushed that through just to be this card that he plays with they call him racist.
Many black people find him to be racist.
Many people find him to be racist, as well as sexist, homophobic, narcissistic, etc.
And also just plain weird and offputting.
If you took away his looks and his words, so that all you saw was a generic human going around and being trump, just the way he acts and moves and behaves is super weird and definitely not presidential in the slightest.
Only the best people are saying this.
The best black people
Has he tried not being racist yet?
Not on the table for that pos.
Well I'd be really depressed if it was working.
Were these black voters even black though? Or did they turn black? People are saying that can happen... Big, strong men are saying it... motorcycle men, with tears in their eyes even...
Ey, lots of motorcycle men don't have tears and are voting for magic race-switching coconut women.
Their motorcycles have one wheel, TERRIBLE MOTORCYCLES FOLKS, okay? You know it and I know it and we know it and you know it!
You have to LOOK AT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM THE SIDE, it's got TWO WHEELS, just LOOKS LIKE ONE from the BACK.

"That sounds trans too me!!!!"
Yeah I hear the klan has had a hard time recruiting new members of color too.
You have to be careful when looking at crosstabs. 600 is the total sample size. How many of those were black?
That was a play for black voters?! Damn dude, if that's how he is when he's trying to court them imagine what he's like behind closed doors
😂 you know, for a while I feel like comedians were struggling to deal with how much absolute crap came out of that presidential fiasco.
Diaper Don? Shoe polish Giuliani? The 4 seasons exterminators next to a crematorium and sex shop? Holy crap
If that journalists meeting was his version of desperation he absolutely deserves to disappear
As someone recently said, why should black voters trust him?
Ok, Michigan is a good state to look at, but I wonder if they were in a blue city. 600 isn't a huge number, but I guess it's not tiny either.
Unfortunately if this is the poll from last week there were only 100 black people included, so it is very small for the subgroup. However neither this article nor the link they left have the full breakdown, this is just from memory
